Demolition crews are preparing the Amway Arena to be demolished on Sunday morning.

The lower bowl has been removed and the seats have been stripped from the arena to prepare it to be imploded.

Officials said they have put 620 pounds of explosives, including dynamite, in place.

The explosives were escorted to the location by Orlando's bomb squad.

Officials said they were hesitant to allow pictures and video of the arena in the current condition.

"A lot of people have some wonderful memories of this place," said Sean Flanagan of ZM Construction. "To show it in the condition that it's in is not the way we want everyone to remember it. We want them to go away with the memories they've had at Magic games or other sporting events or Disney on Ice."
